It’s a Fact

After the start of play in any end, the mat should not be moved from its original position EXCEPT in the following circumstances:-

ñ  If the mat is displaced, it should be replaced to its original position.

ñ  If the mat is out of line with the centre line, it should be straightened on that line.

ñ  If the mat is off the centre line, it should be moved to the centre line.

ñ  If a player picks up the mat before the end has been completed, AN OPPOSING PLAYER should replace the mat to its original position.

ñ  If a bowl from a neighbouring rink, moving in its original course and on a bias which will take it back into its own rink, is travelling on a path which will bring it into contact with the mat, ANY PLAYER on the rink on which the mat is being used can lift it so that the bowl can pass and then replace the mat to its original position.

ñ  After the last bowl required to be played in each end has been delivered, a player or the marker should lift the mat and place it completely beyond the face of the rear bank.  Opponents in Singles can, however, agree to carry the mat up the rink so that they can use it at the next end. (My personal thought – carrying the mat does save time & effort).

The above is covered by Law 19.2 i.e. Placing the Mat – During each end.

 A Reminder
